I've now had my first problem with the A-210 after about three years of solid flying. It is the Valkyrie's #2 Comm, and on our recent western trip, the display started going blank. At first, I thought the radio was dead, but I can bring the display back about 2/3rds of the time with a power cycle - but it will only stay on for between a few seconds and a few minutes - then it goes blank again. The radio appears to be receiving just fine, even when the display is blank - but of course, I have to remember what frequency it was on, and can't really tune it to anything else.
I took the front off tonight, reset the ribbon cable, and got the same behavior afterwards - rats! That would have been such an easy fix.
Has anyone else had this happen? I'll have to call ICOM tomorrow, but curious if there is any experience with this.
